I don’t always check Unilocal reviews before trying a new place. I sometimes walk in on a whim, because I live dangerously, man. So, I had eaten brunch earlier in the day, and I found myself shopping in the plaza that this place was in at around 4:00 pm. Brunch was no longer holding me over, so I needed something for that in between dinner and supper period… like dupper… or sinner… yeah, we’ll go with sinner. So having had brunch several hours prior, I needed a little sinner, so I stopped in here. To comment on some other reviews, the place really FEELS dirty. I couldn’t find any evidence of dirt, grime, or filth, but it feels dirty. Maybe because it’s outdated, but you just kind of keep checking to see if your table is sticky. Anywho, I saw that they had an Italian Beef, and it was listed under their«Specialty Subs». In an attempt to say something nice, the sub came out in under seven minutes, I am therefore awarding them two stars. Seriously though, look at the photo of that sub… that«beef» is not fit for human consumption. Worst Italian Beef I’ve ever had… ever. It was only a 6 inch, and I was hungry, but I didn’t finish it. After the first bite, I was like«Surely, it cannot be that bad», so I attempted one more bite… and then I tossed it in the trash. If this is one of your specialty subs, just hang it up and shut the doors, because even Subway is serving a better sandwich.

I needed a sub place and did not want the usual FH subs. I can say, with no doubt this was the worst steak and cheese sandwich I have ever had. Terrible steak and cheese sub, just terrible. I walked in, first time, no one was there, it was probably around 8:30, smelled smoke coming from the back kitchen area, and was not impressed. I should have walked out and instead ordered a half steak and cheese sandwich because it was not really a sub, so to speak. Loudy service also, and the woman making my «sub» forgot a topping. The wheat bread(I thought I would be healthy) was flat and it fresh, it was crap. I have eaten at a lot of sub place around, in many different states and this was low on the list. This was my first time and I based going there on reviews and my experience sucked. Will not be back, and I highly doubt the owner will contact me for a refund or anything. I was going to say something to the woman, but her lack of concern for anything would have been a waste of effort.

I never do posts on Unilocal but couldn’t help myself! My husband is mad that I’m posting this review because he’s been going there since he was a kid! I’m guessing that’s the last time they cleaned the place too! I have never been inside a more dirty and disgusting place that prepares food! This place should be shut down! I was telling myself, as I was walking out of their horrid bathroom that I will never be back! The live cockroach outside the door sealed the deal! Never again!!! Beyond gross! The owners should be ashamed!

Not the best subs on earth, but the place has been there for a while(it shows), which is good cuz they means the subs are good. I had the Ruben sandwich on a whole wheat hogie. It was delicious but wish they would’ve filled it up some more with meat. I like how this place gives you side options. I recommend the Mac salad. Not bad for a meal under 9 bucks.

I have eaten here for decades. Under newer ownership. Please remind staff to wash hands, per state health regulations: It’s important after smoking outside in front of the restaurant and then walking inside, taking your order and cash, and then only putting on gloves is simply not enough. Major health code violation!

The service wasn’t particularly friendly. The sandwich was huge, with a fresh good hoagie roll but, the meat was cheap kinda gross meat. The other not so good thing was, that there was quite a bit of oil on the sandwich. I didn’t ask for it though. The macaroni salad was good though it tasted mass produced possibly. I won’t eat here again, but if you don’t mind the taste of really cheap lunch meat I say go for it!

Drove all the way from Palm Harbor because these are our favorite subs & the asian guy working was outside stacking chairs. It was 8:45PM. I asked are you open and all he says is, uhhhhhh. I said, that sounds like a no. He proceeded to ignore me. If your store hours are different than stated on your door, Unilocal or anywhere else, then change them so we don’t waste time & gas money. Thank you.

FOULFUNKYDIRTYPLACE! Filthy! Not playing… just plain gross. Dust on everything, grease under that and just plain nasty on the soda machine. $ 10 for a combo of mediocrity with a side of bs attitude from the grill cook. Health dept needs to make an unscheduled visit ASAP. I’m an easy customer, but I don’t play that dirty food prep sh*t. If you have choice, don’t eat at this joint. Oh, and if you like foolin with attitude having unhappy clowns in a filthy establishment… this is your place. P. s. Didn’t even take pics of the inside, no need to… never will return.

Great Food and Service — first ate here 20 years ago — as good as ever. Love the soup, subs and specials.

I have been eating @ Sunset Subs for over 30 years and It is ALWAYSINCREDIBLE!!!, Recently they have added a few new things to the Menu(ie; Combos) but I have not tried them because I stick with what they are known best for… Their Subs. I saw some comments below about being a family owned shop, But I think that is what sets them apart and that’s why its always so consistent GOOD&FRIENDLY! Stick to the traditional stuff and you can’t go wrong: o)

The daughter of the family that owns this joint was outside smoking & shook her head in disapproval of my friend as he pulled up a bit too close of the parking block and it made a screeching noise. He didn’t mean to do it, but it set the tone for the bad vibe of the place. He shook his head right back @ her choosing to smoke. Hope they wear gloves here. Nothing like a Marlboro flavored sammich.

I couldn’t ask much more from a modestly priced Italian sub. There was a nice combination of meats and cheese, the roll was warm and fresh, and the trimmings were ample with a light oil and vinegar dressing. The potato salad was fresh and made on site. My friend had a roast beef that she reported was excellent, as was the philly steak she had the week before. The surroundings are not fancy, but the root beer was bottomless and the service was very friendly. Who needs Subway?

Eh, it was ok. My boss wanted to come since he said he hadn’t been here in a very long time and was raving about how good it is etc etc etc. Maybe was just what I decided to eat and it wasn’t a sub lol. Got the Combo #2 which was the BBQ pulled pork sandwich with some fries. Service was very prompt and friendly and the place was steady busy as it was lunch time. My sandwich was ok. Nothing too special about it. My boss on the other hand devoured his sub in under 5 minutes so I guess it was really good or he was just really really hungry. I will update this post if we come back and I get to try a sub! :)

Vegetarian sub and fries were good, but was concerned about the cleanliness of the restaurant.

For a quick work or out shopping on the weekend lunch this is a great little place. I am a fan of the vegetarian sub with onions, peppers, mushrooms, tomato, lettuce, and provolone cheese — served hot. Did not order their fries on my most recent trip, but I remember them being very crisp, just the way I like them. My husband ordered a Cuban and while I don’t think he will be ordering that again he had a bite of mine and loved it. The bread is chewy and they finish the sub off with some oregano seasoning that is delicious. When I worked nearby I would call ahead my order for pickup and they would always have it ready for me within 10 minutes. Sunset Subs is a great option for a quick lunch at reasonable prices.

This is a small family owned place. I’ve only ordered one item from their menu, the Italian, but I’ve ordered it many times and like it alot. They serve the Italian hot or cold, with your choice of ingredients. The bread used is a little chewy(nice) and I can’t tell you the specific meats and cheeses used, but I’m sure they could. I request banana peppers, pepperoncinis, lettuce, onions, sometimes tomato. Fine shredded lettuce is used and topped with oil and vinegar, and salt and pepper. I just like this sandwich, the ingredients work very well together, and it’s consistantly good. They have a wide variety of other items on the menu. I urge you not to judge the place strictly by appearance; they do a nice job with their sandwiches.
